holy crap thats alot of pages lol. but anyways im planning on cleaning my carpets today on my jeep and how should i go about doing this? i have a shop vac i was planning to use some very hot soapy water and dab it on the carpets and scrub it with a brush then suck it up with the shop vac or is there a better solution? i dont plan on going out and buying a cleaner plus i might not be able to lol..... long story. but any ways of doing it? or is my way ok? also im gonna pull the seats out and clean them thoroughly and under the seats about 2 years ago a coke blew up under there lol its been so neglected till i got my hands on it now its getting fixed up and cleaned and maybe repainted but not to sure for that. but it just smells so bad in there when its muggy outside and i wanted to clean it so i thought this might help.

Sputtering to a start
4.0L AW4
When the engine is dead cold (sitting overnight or the like) and I go to start it it will crank over normally but, after a second of cranking it 'spits and sputters' up to idle for a second instead of just roaring to life like usual. Does this only when cold. If engine is even slightly warm it roars right to life. Any ideas?
btw, once started it idles and drives flawlessly like normal...

-replaced plugs, wires, cap, and rotor a few thousand miles ago.
-battery connections are good with a strong voltage reading as well as passing a load test

Next best thing is to remove it, wash and bake in the sun.
I use a shop vac and spray bottle with dish soap (not bleach type) which is a good degreaser, can also use clothes soap. Spray it and vaccume at the same time.

So you got it towed to your house. Now you want us to tell you if the Jeep can be driven by someone else?
Why exactly was it towed then? That's what one does with vehicles when you can't drive them.

So many thing wrong with that. First not enough posts to be selling here. Second, 500 for a 93 with bad motor, eh. Depends what else it has going for it.

Then I purchased a good Cassette adapter on Amazon, the monster ICard 800.
You shouldn't scrimp on the adapter-it makes a lot of difference in the sound reproduction.
Another hint: Don't leave it in the player when you're not using it.

I have always tried to keep my truck stock, so when my OEM radio took a dump, I bought another OEM on EBAY with a cassette player.

Back when I was a young fart, Pioneer was the way to go for car stereos. You weren't cool if you didn't have a Pioneer.
